I agree with the lifters, only if they can be compressed (After the pressure in the lifters has gone down, see if the center can be pushed down), if yes, then reuse them, if not replace them. You don't have any valvetrain ticking right?
its usually the main bearings being wiped out. That clattering noise is the rods and/or crankshaft banging around before the oil pump makes enough pressure to float them apart. The noise tends to come back when the motor is hot because the oil thins out. Piston slap usually goes away with a hot motor because the pistons expand in the bore.
